Ask HN: What does your one language ecosystem look like?
Practically I know this doesn't make a lot of sense but I find myself coming back to this question and I think about the tradeoffs. Questions also come up like:
- Which languages fare better than others in this context?
- If there isn't an option in the chosen language for a thing, what would be the workaround? Perhaps using a combination of other tools to achieve the capability.
- Which edge cases are the most painful?
- How long would it take to build the needed capability if it didn't already exist for the language?
I'm curious to hear what others think about this.
